No... diversity is the spice of life. I am fine with Scrambler rifles... LRs (though they need a bit of a buff), forge guns (even the roof-top snipers), sniper rifles, shotguns and mass drivers (bit noob-ish, but whatever).

Each weapon has a roll, and all contribute to a diverse game. Flaylock and contact grenades are broken and unbalanced, and their use (and abuse) lower the quality of the game.

I like to think that the people actually involved in PC, who are dedicating their time and resources to it, are genuinely concerned about making sure that they enjoy their experience.

They are doing what CCP *should* have done... removing the Flaylock and Contact Grenades from the equation.

So, to stop the "You have weapons that can kill us, and make us feel sad" crowd from drowning in their own tears.

There has been a decision to tie one hand behind your back, to give the other team a chance.

This is a very admirable.

I am wondering just how far this will go before all whining stops?

Will we see full Starter Fit PC battles in the future?

Will all PC battles have to be fought by newly created "Academy" Alts?

What happened to the noble tradition of "Tear Collection"?

Is there an agreement against orbitals and murder taxis and droplink spams and cal logis and spamming nades from multiple nanohives as well?

When crossbows were invented during the medieval ages, the Pope at the time felt that the crossbow was OP and decided to ban them from warfare. This was the first recorded nerf of any first person shooter in human history.

My Thunker grenades have a blast radius of 2.5m and don't always kill on contact...

just 90% of the time? you poor baby you. I have to hit a small, fast moving target, accounting for lag with my pistol. and it still takes 2-3 shots.

Thukker grenades take more skill then a core flaylock does.

Think about it. The crossbow is easy to train into, didn't take any skill to aim and use, and provide equal if not greater killing power than that of a traditional bow and arrow.

SNIP

Flaylocks could certainly use a few small nerfs, but banning them from PC? They aren't that "broken"

Me thinks you're not as good as you think you are

So when do ARs get banned, or do they require too much "skill" to be OP?
